With ample room for large and small dogs to stretch, run and play, the park will use innovativeK9Grass, an artificial turf designed for pets. Unlike generic artificial grass, K9Grass is more realistic and won’t hurt paws of smaller breeds. Highlights also include: waterfountains with built-in petbowls, large circular bench-styleseating, and a memorial garden and monument that will stand as tribute to the hero deputy – a solemn reminder of his bravery and sacrifice.

Opening this March, the park is located between Raymond Street and 12th Street, at the northern end of the Channel District.

We are honored to play a role in this meaningful project.
